Now it's beautiful ski conditions at Venabu. Saturday it was sun shine and exellent. We had 100 people in the hotel for skiing. Not much snow, but still good conditions. Today (Sunday) it's snowing and colder weather. We look forward to Christmas and hope to see you here this winter. Warm regards from Line

640 skiers participated in this year's Troll skimarathon, almost 500 did 95 kilometers. Sandra Hansson, winner of the women's class dobbelpoled the whole distance. It was sunny and temperatures lower than 0 Celsius the whole day.

Still good skiingconditions and nice, cold weather. This week is the last week of the season, which is sad, because it's still good for skiing. We had temperatures above 0 Celsius for three days (+4,3 at the highest, the 3rd of April), but still cold nights. We had long and short tour every day, mostly in the open area (North and East), because of the nice weather. Light and gentle breeze from north most of the week, made it feel colder than it was.

This is the best Easter ever! Perfect conditions, still on blue wax, nice, sunny weather. Cold mornings and warmer during the day. Light breeze from the north most of the time.

Lots of people spend their holiday at their cabins, many go skiing, but once we leave the trails we don't meet that many.

We arrange skisafari, short and long tour every day. Tours round Trabelifjell, Veslefjell, Dynjefjell, Indre Uksan and the Waterfall (Myfallet). Skisafaris to Gråhøgdbu, Måsåplassen, round Bølhøgda, Svabudalen and in the Sollia area.

The photos are from the tour Venåssetra-Bølhøgdene-Venabu that we did on Wednesday.

-15 Celsius in the morning, warmer during the day, ca -5 Celsius. Sunny and less wind, but still a cold breeze from the north. We did a snowshoetour to the waterfall

and skisafari to Måsåplassen

In addition we got a question Wednesday evening, if one of us could help a group that was skiing from Rondablikk to Eldåbu on thursday and continue to Venabu on Friday. Their guide had fallen and broken some ribs.

7AM: -14 Celsius, light air, overcast, good visibility. Just as it looked like it would clear up around 8.30 AM, we suddenly got snow and wind from N-NE.

Update: The weatherforecast promised less wind and good conditions during the day, that really didn't happen. We had a challenging tour from Gunstadseter, through Svabudalen and back to Venabu. Still enjoyable!

Late update: Mixed weather and tour day. We tried to ski on the other side of Muen, but had a hard time with high wind and icy surface, then we changed plan and continued our journey in Svarthammern area, which was pretty amazing - still hard surface and some icy sections, but much better temperature, sunny and great feeling.
